The scalable Web-based architecture of Foreseer Class is the foundation of its flexibility. Its multi-tiered software and hardware options build on that flexibility, providing appropriate solutions for a wide range of situations – from one location with thousands of data inputs, to a distributed enterprise with hundreds of remote sites all monitored from a central operations center, Foreseer Class can even audit your outsourcer’s sites if appropriate.
The software provides a “virtual enterprise” view into all sites equipped with Foreseer Class, making available all data gathered at remote sites. Plus, with network dial-up and web access, a real-time view into mission critical operation is available anytime, anywhere.
Foreseer Class comes in three classifications:
- Class N Server Software designed for smaller IT or network sites
- Class D Server Software designed for the large data or communications centers
- Class E Server Software designed for enterprise-wide applications
In addition, the Foreseer Data Acquisition Engine and the Foreseer Data Acquisition Terminal allows for off-site alarm processing of remote sites.

Its online statistical and proactive data analysis tools allow you to perform cause analysis, impact analysis, capacity planning, preventive maintenance assessments, and trending, giving you a window into equipment performance.
Extensive, multi-vendor device-driven library interfaces with most major manufacturers of power and environmental equipment, as well as subsystems such as fire, security, fuel, and building controls.
Foreseer Class is the ultimate solution to proactively monitor and manage critical facilities infrastructure. Regardless of manufacturer, from uninterruptible power systems (UPS), air handlers, and battery monitoring to simple temperature/humidity sensors, this system monitors them all. Its unique interface capability and unparalleled performance analysis tools deliver information clearly and intuitively via the most advanced graphical user interface available.
Customizable graphic user interface (GUI) accurately depicts individual sites, allowing for personalized views based on individual preferences. Even your customers or internal clients can have a customized view to support service level agreements.
Foreseer Class makes it easy to graphically depict and view your site. Authorized users, enterprise-wide, can personalize their views based on individual preference. If service level agreements are a concern, customer views can be created that provide insight and visibility that supports your track record.
Both graphics and views are conveniently modified online without interrupting monitoring functions. Foreseer Class' view editor includes an extensive drawing capability, which allows CAD files, logos, photographs, and other scanned images to be imported easily.
Web browser access allows you and your staff to gain a remote, customizable view of critical facilities from anywhere in the world.
Included with Foreseer Class is easy-to-access reports on diagnostics, system configuration, and log files. Also included are extensive reports for daily, weekly, and monthly alarms. Each report is time-stamped and can be sorted by device, alarm point, date, and time. Alarm reports also include time of user acknowledgement and time of return to normal.
Report Manager is also available as an additional option. Report Manager helps you capture and manage the factors that drive your costs. The Report Manager adds ad-hoc reporting which takes the best elements of the system reports, offering the flexibility to customize reports to your needs.
Further, Foreseer Class integrates seamlessly with Crystal Reports, which allows you to mine and professionally display collected data in the database in standard Crystal formats.
Foreseer Class offers the most advanced alarm management capabilities available. Employing a familiar traffic signal color scheme, the system reveals problems and their level of severity at a glance. Green indicates a normal condition, yellow indicates a cautionary condition, and red indicates a critical alarm.
Monitored points can be assigned up to four alarm thresholds with specific instruction for each condition and a predetermined escalation procedure. The system provides smart alphanumeric paging, e-mail and ASCII output with predetermined call escalation lists, sorting, filtering, and broadcasting. Alarm messages with operator instructions can be automatically sent to a network management system for management of events for both IGT and facilities on a single platform.
